I have a bird. Her name is Turd Bird. Truly. When she came to me (yet another rescue) I had no idea what sex she was. Lots of my friends gave me their opinions but I really wasn't sure until she started laying eggs last summer. I'm a pretty quick learner so I picked up on that right away! So for weeks I would try out different names but Turd Bird is what she wound up with. Not only is it her name but it also describes her favorite hobby. I read somewhere that cockatiels poop every 15 minutes or so. Not my girl. She is an over achiever if there ever was one! If she makes it 5 minutes without going potty it's amazing.
Birds are like very small children. They need/demand a lot of attention, are curious about everything and they put their beaks on anything within reach. When I'm home I have her out with me quite a bit. In the mornings she hangs out in the bathroom while I get my day started. She loves bathrooms because of the big mirrors! Because Turdy spends so much time in the loo I've rearranged things so that she won't get into too much trouble. Jewelry and any other shiny object draws her like a magnet so those expensive items have been put away. I know that she likes to nibble on caps and the end of a toothpaste tube but I don't usually watch her every move. My mistake! Somehow, the other morning, Turdy managed to drag the tube over the side of a shelf and drop my new toothpaste into the toilet. Pretty offensive! So there I am staring into the toilet bowl looking at my toothpaste. She is still standing on the shelf looking at me and then down into the toilet. The bird wanted her treasure back! My animals usually get what they want but even I had to draw the line at that one!
That's it. The end of my story. Hope you got a little chuckle from one of my ark stories! Have a great day everyone. ~S
